Abstract:

This article develops a scorecard to synthetically measure the performance of companies logistics and green supply chain system from four aspects which are customers, finance, innermanaging flow and learning and development. The scorecard covers four aspects and has 22 measurement items. An extensive survey has been conducted in Chinese companies and 206 filled questionnaires have been collected. The researcher have compared the performance difference of logistics and supply chain in state—owned companies, foreign—owned companies and private companies. The results showed that the scorecard had the good reliability and effectiveness to become an effective tool to evaluate green supply chain performance in companies. Furthermore, the results showed that there is no direct relation between planning and executive ability, and applied ability of information technology, so the acting relation between them is deleted and the confirmatory factory analysis between them shows a strong relationship. The applied ability of information technology has a very significant influence on logistics efficiency. However, the influences of planning and executive ability on logistics efficiency are significantly strong, while “planning and executive ability” and “applied ability of information technology” are closely-related to firm strategies and organizational coordination ability. In addition, it is also crucial to build cooperative relationship between suppliers and customers and gives effective training for employees. Finally, this article provide managerial insights for firms to understand and enhance their supply chain management.
